I love it, made my gameplay and phone calls more interesting, but then I can’t relate to others who have gotten so many strange calls tbh and I only got from Sims my Sims are friendly with so it just feels like my Sims personally chatting on the phone. The off switch to my mind is to just click no on the options it’s really not a big deal for me I’m hanging up on Bess and turning down festival invites all the time, but maybe in future there will come an off switch in the settings, besides the phone silencer. I don’t really see it like they are asking the Sim to make the decisions, but also asking me as the player, so I like it because I play rotationally and I get to change things without switching houses, like build friendships. Maybe they should make it so that only good friends / best friends ask certain types of questions, like career/pregnancy questions and they should limit ages so adults don’t ask teen Sims etc. and certainly toddlers shouldn’t be using the phone at all. I think there are many things they can do to improve it, like add an answering machine, add more questions like have a friend call saying they found a stray kitten or puppy and do you want to adopt it, or offer donated items like do you want this teapot I’m cleaning my kitchen, fun stuff like that, but I really like it so far.
